531pi - MP3

531pi - MP3 is at 29 in a listing of 67. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against 531pi - MP3 is two, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

The stream is 96 kbps where New Zealand's median is 128. Below the country's middle, which usually points at an older encoder or a deliberate choice to stay light, and matters far more for music than for talk.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 10 other stations in New Zealand are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of New Zealand's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
